Vibrant Studios

I was looking for a yoga studio that centered practice on position and healing, and offered a sanctuary feel rather than a workout facility — and I was fortunate to happen upon Vibrant yoga.
My first class was the donation based yoga class with Katey, which was the perfect mix of flow and restorative positions. Assists were gently offered and amazing — they were truly some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The studio is just a warm and beautiful space with light hardwood floors, skylights, and art work. There are plenty of nice yoga props available, I especially appreciated the bolsters which helped me get a deep but well supported stretch through my upper back. I liked them so much I looked them up and found they were made by a local practitioner in Portland (YogaBolstersbyminga on Etsy) — definitely now added to my wishlist.
In short, if you’re wanting a yoga-​focused welcoming community experience in a tranquil space, look no further — you’ve found it.

Vibrant Studios is a gorgeous space! It feels like a creative sanctuary. I am always grateful when I step inside. There are so many unique offerings — meditation, dance, yoga, chakra workshops! So far I’ve totally enjoyed every class I’ve been to. I highly recommend the studio!

Vibrant Studios is a beautiful space to practice yoga. The room is bright and airy throughout thanks to numerous windows and skylights. It is elevated so while you can hear the street, you cannot see it.
A visit to the studio starts with the office reception where you take off your shoes and get checked-​in. I am always welcomed by the instructor, and the process is smooth and stress-​free. Next, there is a restroom where I can change out of my street clothes into stretchy pants. Numerous props and yoga mats are provided for me to setup my space.
I have taken yoga classes from a variety of instructors at the studio. As someone who is getting back to yoga after a long absence, it has been a comfortable experience. Nothing is too advanced, yet I am challenged enough to build strength. The key that all instructors emphasize is the freedom to experiment. I am free to push the envelope if I want to, or to pull back if I need to. I never feel like I am being judged, either from the instructors or the other participants around me. At Vibrant and within the four corners of my mat I am free to be.
The music that is played during class is also great. Depending on the instructor you will get anything from indie mix to dance party to hits from the 00s to live instrumentation.
I also need to mention the artwork in the studio. I haven’t been around long enough to tell whether or how often they are rotated, but I really enjoy having it there. There is a textured red painting in the back of the studio and it is stunning.
I have been to one of the Sunday Salon events and was impressed. The food was prepared by Sophie, the studio owner and it was delicious. She also facilitated a group discussion. Everyone was given a chance to speak and it was nice to listen to others as well as being able to have the space to express yourself. It was a nice way to meet others in the community and I will be attending again.
If you are looking for a welcoming place to develop your yoga practice, Vibrant Studios is the place for you. See you there.

Best place for small classes and events. You get lots of individualized attention from instructors and everybody knows your name.

I met the amazing and sweet Sophie, the owner of Vibrant Studios, when she was first setting up shop. I’ve gotten to see the studio grow and blossom into what it is today, and I have to say it’s one of my favorite places in Portland. Every time I walk through the doors, all the weight I have from daily worries just drops off my shoulders. The atmosphere and energy of the studio is always light and welcoming. No one has ever made me feel like I didn’t know enough yoga while I’m there. I feel so blessed to have found this gem of a studio amongst the many studios around here.
Being a non-​teaching-​once-​yoga-​teacher myself, I can often be a teeny-​weeny bit critical of other yoga teachers, and all of the teachers I have practiced with here so far have been amazing. They definitely know their stuff. It doesn’t feel rushed like when you’re at the gym, it feels fluid and fulfilling. They don’t take you out of your zone by re-​positioning you too much, but they do offer helpful advice if you need or want it.
I love the idea of the Sunday night salon’s where you meet other Portlanders and have amazing and healthy food cooked by the owner herself. It’s such a gorgeous space to meet people in, feeling the comfyness and acceptance of the overall energy in Vibrant.
If you’ve been thinking about starting yoga or wanting to check this place out, please do. You will not be disappointed. They’re all great, caring people and love seeing new faces. Everyone will make you feel welcomed and supported no matter where you are in your journey of yoga and life.

I found Vibrant Studios when I first moved to Portland and am so happy that I did! They have many offerings but I mainly partake in the yoga classes. The teachers are very knowledgeable, classes are approachable, and the space is gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Vibrant Studios is a wonderful addition to the Portland yoga scene. I’ve really loved the classes I’ve taken there — great teachers who have attention to detail.
If yoga isn’t your thing, they have a plethora of other offerings, too. Ecstatic, Nia and Belly Dancing, Tai Chi, and Zumba. Definitely check out their current class offerings and you’re bound to find something you like.
My favorite offering from Vibrant is the Sunday Salon, which happens every other Sunday. The owner of the studio, Sophie, is a brilliant chef. She prepares a vegan and gluten free feast, the wine flows, and it’s a great way to meet and share in inspired conversation with Portlanders that you might not have a chance to otherwise.
I love Vibrant’s new intro deal — $ 20 for 2 weeks of unlimited classes! Such a deal.
All of these offerings in an incredibly beautiful space. Go check out the studio and get Vibrant!

A beautiful studio with lots of natural light which makes all the classes really Amazing to experience. Very eclectic variety of classes from yoga to Free movement dance. Salons are beautiful offerings to the community and provide organic, fresh local dishes cooked by Sophie herself, who has a vibrant background in catering and restaurants. Overall feeling is very welcoming and Originality of experience is showcased by their past awards of Best New Studio, Best Yoga Sanctuary, and Best new Business of 2013 ! Try it I think you’ll enjoy this studio :)))

Gorgeous space in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. The studio has nice light and décor; feels warm and welcoming. A great variety of yoga and dance classes for all ages and levels of expertise. I am a novice when it comes to yoga, and all of the teachers have been extremely helpful. The Sunday Salons are a nice way to meet other people from the studio and have a delicious, healthy meal. Definitely a Portland yoga staple!

Beautiful space with a great ambiance. They offer a wide variety of classes and a lot of fun activities. And the price is reasonable too!

Beautiful new studio featuring yoga, dance, nourishing meals, and musical events. Yoga classes range from vigorous Vinyasa Flow, to Cyclist’s Yoga, to gently & restorative classes. Dance, also, has a vast array of types of offerings — from Nia, to Expressive/​Ecstatic, to Sensual & Sultry. Community members are invited to participate in nurturing, joyful, educational weekend meals, showcasing local and seasonal ingredients, and often accompanied by music or other entertainment. Several chamber music series’ are planned, with more workshops and special events slated to begin in 2013. Packed schedule of yoga classes (6 days a week!) allows for ease & flexibility in scheduling. Yay! Proud to have this new addition in Portland.
